This is very well put. IMO nothing better illustrates how deep-rooted that model is than distance learning in 2020-2021 in the US. That was an opportunity to innovate quickly, and yet no state or district I know of took it seriously. Instead they had students on Zoom for 3-5 hours a day, including 1st-3rd graders, structured as if it was a regular classroom. It served no educational purpose except adhering to the model and requirements you mentioned.
